Please be advised that any damages caused by the pet will result in additional charges. These
charges are determined by the homeowner. Dogs must be leashed when outside the
home.
Regarding Service Animals: Due to the homes being privately owned,
the
rule of having a service animal does not apply, as the owner of the property may be allergic,
thus not allowing pets in the home. So, if the renter/guests of the renter do have a service
animal, please be sure to pick a home where dogs or cats are allowed, please be aware that cats
do need prior approval as not all properties allow cats in their homes.
We have many
homes that do allow pets, please be sure to check with our office ahead of time. If a pet is
brought to a home that is notated as “No Pets Allowed,” the renter is liable for a penalty
fee of up to $1,000 and extra cleaning costs.

periods the 4:00 PM
check-in time cannot be guaranteed, however, the New Spirit staff will make every effort to

be negotiated with prior management approval. Please note that during the Winter Holiday Season,
(includes but is not limited to Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Weeks), check-in time is

check-in/check-out time procedures during the Holiday Season is greatly appreciated and most
helpful to our staff as well as fellow vacationers in ensuring seamless check-ins for all New
Spirit guests.

able to guarantee an early check in/check out. The renter can inquire closer to the day of
arrival if an early check in/late check out is possible. Please contact the company at the

all windows. During the summer months thunderstorms are frequent in the mountain home areas. It
is very important that the windows are closed before departure. Please turn off all lights and
ceiling fans. During the winter months, it is advised that you keep windows closed and drapes
drawn to keep cold out and enclose heat. During the winter season, please lower the thermostat
to 55 degrees before your departure. (We reserve the right to charge additional fees for any of
the above policies that are not followed).

Housekeeping
and Trash Removal: PLEASE enjoy the stay in this beautiful home and treat it as your own. Though
we charge a linen/prep fee, this is just a basic routine service. Anything beyond this routine
prep is not the responsibility of the linen/prep service, therefore New Spirit Vacation Homes
reserves the right to charge additional cleaning fees if the home is not left in a clean and
presentable condition. We ask that the renter remove the trash and put it in the cans provided
(located in the garage or deck area). REMOVAL OF TRASH APPLIES TO THE GROUNDS OF THE PROPERTY AS
WELL. Please put dirty dishes in the dishwasher and run the cycle. Please put all dirty linens
(only towels) and such in the laundry room or central area for housekeeping. Please keep all
linens on beds. The housekeeper will strip the beds.
Because some of our Mountain and
Temecula area homes are on a septic system, we ask that the renter do not put anything down the
sink (roughage, carrot peels, and or potato skins, etc.…). This also applies to the toilet
(overage of toilet paper, no feminine products and things of this nature). If a service call is
required for any of these reasons, we will be forced to charge you for the call and work done,
in addition to any damage caused by the incident.
Access to properties cannot be
guaranteed
because of significant weather events, such as snow or ice. (This applies to our vacation homes
in the mountain areas). No refunds will be given due to weather conditions. We highly recommend
bringing snow chains and/or a 4×4 vehicle. We can provide the renter with transportation contact
information or for snow plowing at your own cost. Be aware that during the winter season we use
Snow Melt that could be harmful to dogs, it is a rocky white substance that we use on walkway
areas, driveways and decks. Please be sure to wash their paws.
